Lucknow, Dec 24: Local BSP MLA supporters on Wednesday, Dec 24 thrashed an executive engineer, Manoj K Gupta of Public Works Department (PWD) to death in Auraiya, about 100 kms away from Kanpur.

According to a report lodged with the police by Shashi Gupta, wife of deceased, two unidentified men entered their house in Gail Vihar in Dibiyapur forcibly on Tuesday, Dec 23 night and started beating her husband badly.

The miscreants locked Shashi in a bathroom and continued beating the engineer, injuring him seriously, the report said.
